Tami. What if it was your son? Your broth­er? Inno­cent­ly walk­ing in his neigh­bor­hood, and then scared for his life? Shot mul­ti­ple times as he ran?
The pun­ish­ment, the exe­cu­tion, of Michael Brown did not fit the crime he com­mit­ted. Who was he endan­ger­ing? No one. When Wil­son became a cop he swore to pro­tect and serve. Who does that apply to? Him­self appar­ent­ly. He shot an unarmed 18 year old boy in the head as he sur­ren­dured. And now he has pock­et­ed $400,000 for a lawyer he won’t even need.
Michael Vick­’s dog recieved more jus­tice.

@Tami#calling these thugs lib­er­al cit­i­zens realky makes you look une­d­u­cat­ed and tru­ly ignorant…your post is sim­ply a rant with no fac­tu­al basis…people like you are a big part of the problem.and last I CHECKED none of the crimes you state are pun­ish­able by death…I am a white lib­er­al and I am just curi­ous where you got the infor­ma­tion that these are ” lib­er­al cit­i­zens” riot­ing and looting…say after me Tami..I am a prej­u­diced big­ot and I am mak­ing up lies of racial dis­crim­i­na­tion against me so i can post a blog and get lots and lots of atten­tion”

This death is the cur­rent focus of com­mu­ni­ty anger but the real issue is much big­ger. Igno­rance is being in denial of this ugly fact: Amer­i­ca impris­ons more peo­ple than any oth­er coun­try in the world (North Korea is the only real com­pe­ti­tion). And those peo­ple are most­ly most poor, young, black and male.

“Mass incar­cer­a­tion on a scale almost unex­am­pled in human his­to­ry is a fun­da­men­tal fact of our coun­try today—perhaps the fun­da­men­tal fact, as slav­ery was the fun­da­men­tal fact of 1850. In truth, there are more black men in the grip of the crim­i­nal-jus­tice system—in prison, on pro­ba­tion, or on parole—than were in slav­ery then. Over all, there are now more peo­ple under “cor­rec­tion­al super­vi­sion” in America—more than six million—than were in the Gulag Arch­i­pel­ago under Stal­in at its height.”

@Tara the grand jury was not decid­ing guilty or not guilty “as charged” they were only to decide if any charges were to be filed. And as to your ” peace­ful, non vio­lent pro­tes­tors, Browns step­fa­ther and sev­er­al oth­er peace mak­ers incit­ed these riots…its right on tape for every­one to see…unless ” burn this moth­er f@#%@# down” and ” kill the pigs” are peace­ful pro­tes­tor code words for ” increase the peace” if so, sorry…my bad

You know why I nev­er have a prob­lem with the police (LAPD) it’s because I obey the law, do you know why they don’t harass me? I don’t involve myself in sus­pi­cious behav­ior like loi­ter­ing, blast­ing music, or con­duct­ing myself in such a man­ner to gar­ner atten­tion or intim­i­date peo­ple to show thatI’m a badass. I was out and about 80% of the time as well, skate­board­ing with groups of friends. ( black , white all race ) and we nev­er had any prob­lems that we did­n’t bring upon our­selves.

You don’t attack police offi­cers, just like you don’t curse and be rude in front of your grand­moth­er.

It’s this dudes par­ents fault, they nev­er taught this kid man­ners and he just thought he was badass and just turned out to be a moron­ic wannabe. He was stoned too, and prob­a­bly could­n’t han­dle his shit and was over­ly para­noid.

If he just lis­tened to the cop, and got on the side­walk, he’d be alive to mooch weed mon­ey off his parents.but no. He had to show how much of a badass he is and not com­ply.

So why is he dead? Because he’s an idiot and obvi­ous­ly had some­thing to prove. Because he has shit­ty par­ents.
